Trivia
Modigliani's first name was Amedeo. It translates to "Lover of God." Mozart had the same first name, although Modigliani's name is the Italian version, while Mozart's is the Latin.

Goofs
In the movie, Frida Kahlo, the wife of Diego Riviera appears. But Frida was born in 1907, so in 1920 she would have been 13, while in the movie she is portrayed as an adult. She married Diego only in 1929.

Quotes
Amedeo Modigliani: Tell me, Pablo, how do you make love to a cube?

Crazy credits
The opening title card includes a disclaimer that any paintings shown are not actual works by the artists depicted, but the Picasso portrait of Modigliani, central to the plot line, is a near perfect copy, if not the actual original.

A true 'actor's ' movie

I really liked the movie. it is beautifully shot and the acting is great and that also counts for the beautiful story of this painter. Sure, if you are not into 'art' movies this wont be something for you but if you like a movie that is not a Hollywood blockbuster and if you like Garcia, i'm sure that you will like the movie. Andy Garcia is far most the only 'star' in the movie but that gives the movie a certain amount of credibility. If there would have been to many A listers, the movie wouldn't have worked like it does now. Although the movie is set in the 1920-1930's there is also a modern part (the scene where everyone is painting their masterworks for the exibition with some lounge music on the background is gorgeous!). So if you want to see a true actor's movie check it out!
